I had completely forgotten about this post from when @1871tech opened up. Almost 12 years later, how are we doing in Chicago?. A New Home for the Startup Community

Mixed stats for Chicago, third largest MSA/3% of U.S. by population:.ā¢Ā #9/2% of total in capital invested.ā¢Ā Not in top 10/<=1% for AI rounds.⢠Leapfrogged by Pittsburgh, Houston, Miami for AI. Boston, San Diego are bigger % than I expected; Seattle, Miami (given hype) smaller.
A bright spot in startups, 2023 AI investment surged from $2.2B to $7.5B. And like previous technological waves, its center of gravity lies in Silicon Valley.

Surprised Chicago isn't in US top 10. ā¢Ā Cost of living helps, but devs often compare comp > cost.ā¢Ā Few FAANG-like roles here with upper limit to advancement.ā¢Ā Skew towards ops-heavy vs. tech-heavy startups. We supply great talent e.g. UIUC. More work to do to retain it. .
